I must point out a few things I really love about this image, beyond the already-perfect-Hallowe'en-ness of it.

-Her clown outfit just rocks, especially the hat. I haven't seen that kind of yarn in 30 years. Superb.

-Her brother is wearing a classic Topstone 'Ghoul' mask -- and it kind of looks like a bald, green Jerry Seinfeld.

-The pumpkin flashlight he's holding (and seemingly licking?) and the skull flashlight she's holding are still made today, from the same molds (and probably using the same plastic beads from the same supplier). I have examples of both in my Hallowe'en stuff.

-Allie the Clown is making the same face as the jack o'lantern on her brother's right, and his mask is making the same face as the jack o'lantern on Allie's left. Seriously.

-Wallabees and deck shoes.

-The look in her eyes: "Just take the picture so we can get going!"

Allie, thank you for letting us hang this wonderful snapshot of Hallowe'en Past at the Skull & Pumpkin! You get free drinks this weekend!

Anyone else have pictures of their costumed childish selves? Let's show and tell!

Haaa! I love it! And my brother's mask DOES look like Jerry! If they are still making those flashlights, why did my brother and I fight EVERY year about who got which one? Why? Because me mum's a sadist. But man, could she make a cute clown suit! By the way, that year our neighbor walked up the street as the headless horseman. My brother peed himself and we went home.True story.
